CAKE-BAKING PAN.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL H. GEISEL, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and resident of lVheeling, county of Ohio, and

State of Vest Virginia, have invented oer-- tain new and usefulImprovements in (lake Baking Pans, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in bake-pans, and moreparticularly to a pan which is specially adapted for use in bakingcakes.

The object of the invention is to provide a cake-baking pan the sidewalls of which will not become unduly heated in the baking process,thereby preventing the formation of a crust or hardened surface aboutthe sides of the therein-baked cake.

ith these and other objects in view, the invention finally consists inthe particular construction, arrangement and combination of parts whichwill hereinafter be fully described, reference being herein had to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which-Figure 1 is a top plan view of the invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevationof the same; andFig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3, Fig. 1.

Referring to said drawings, in which like reference characters designatelike parts throughout the several views A designates the sides of awooden frame which may be rectangular or of any other preferred form. Inthe lower edge of each side A of said frame is a groove or mortise inwhich is received the struck-up flange Z) of a sheet metal bottom B. Theside A has that portion of Specification of Letters Patent.

its lower edge which lies within the flange 5 extended to and restingupon said metal bottom, as shown at a, while that portion of said loweredge which lies without the flange Z) is of less length, as shown at a,preventing contact of said frame with the part of the furnace or ovenupon which said bottom B rests, and consequently preventing the burningor charring of said frame which would otherwise result. As is obvious,the frame may be made of other material which is not readily conductiveof heat, as, for instance, fiber or asbestos board.

In baking, the outer surface or sides of the cake are prevented by theframe from receiving a materially greater degree of heat than theportions thereof remote from the sides; consequently, the formation of ahardened crust is prevented.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

In a cake-baking pan, a metal bottom having a lateral upturned flange,and side-Walls formed of a material not readily conductive of heat, thelatter having grooves in the lower edges thereof in which said flangesare seated, the portions of said side-walls on the outer side of saidflange being shortened so that said walls will not contact the bed uponwhich said bottom rests.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two subscribingwitnesses.

CARL H. GEISEL.
